Aspire or accept?
Seek or settle?
You have the power and responsibility to set the course for your life.
A life by design, not by default.
The many transition points we encounter in our personal and professional lives come with choices. Sometimes we know the answers, but sometimes we need help getting to that next stage. It’s okay to need help, and it’s even better to ask for it.

Education and career-focused counseling for navigating life’s transitions.
Our choices and paths through high school and college can set the stage for our future. And then we spend about 1/3 of our time on work-related pursuits that affect the other 2/3 of our lives. So why not write the script you want to fulfill rather than relinquishing control and reacting to what happens? Why not make this one and only life the best it can be?
